Brief Description:  Battery tray, fuel selector bracket

After getting the seatback support frame done, and the TV aerial, I got back to it. I got the various p[arts of the battery tray drilled and countersunk; they're now ready to be edge-finished and then primered. I also got back to my Andair fuel selector bracket which is now ready to be primered and then fitted to the fuselage (at the appropriate time). I've gone with AN426AD4 rivets to hold the pieces together and then nutplates on the underside for AN509-8R8 countersunk screws to hold the assembly to the auxilliary longeron and the mid-cabin brace. There F-881 cover goes over the whole lot and neatly hides everything.

Finally, I got my Grove airfoil gear legs down from storage and SHOCK, HORROR. Aaarrrgggghhhh! Corrosion(?). Help! VansAirforce to the rescue: guys, what's the best way to tackle this? I'm planning on having these poliched, but the bits that are hidden by the fuselage attachments and fairings will be primered.
